Bore
Tide
Early May 2000
We caught the video footage of this bore tide while
hiking about 3000 ft above the highway on Bird
Ridge.

Turnagain Arm Bore
Tide:
The Turnagain
Arm is well known
for having one of the world's fastest tides with a height
change ranging more than 33 feet in 10 minutes. This height
change and speed produces bore tides which are a wall of
water reaching up to five + feet in height at any one
point.
Viewing a bore tide is a unique experience and well worth a
trip south of Anchorage to the Turnagain Arm. IF you don't
happen to be visiting during the widest tide changes, you
always have the opportunity to view the mountain goats and
big horn sheep along the route to Girdwood.
We hope you enjoy the quick time video!
